I hear the Lord saying these words: Arise Like the Dawn, Lock In & Take Dominion!
#1. ARISE LIKE THE DAWN!
Isaiah 60:1-2 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
I continually hear the Spirit whispering in my ears, “Awake Daughter, Arise like the Dawn”
We are truly in a defining moment as sons and daughters!
Arise Like The Dawn! A new day is dawning upon you! The Lord gave me a beautiful picture of the sun rising in the East, The dawn is never late! It comes at its appointed time! The Lord is not late, He is right on time, He is performing miraculously in His people in this hour.
Romans 13:12-14 MSG But make sure that you don’t get so absorbed and exhausted in taking care of all your day-by-day obligations that you lose track of the time and doze off, oblivious to God. The night is about over, dawn is about to break. Be up and awake to what God is doing! God is putting the finishing touches on the salvation work he began when we first believed. We can’t afford to waste a minute, must not squander these precious daylight hours in frivolity and indulgence, in sleeping around and dissipation, in bickering and grabbing everything in sight. Get out of bed and get dressed! Don’t loiter and linger, waiting until the very last minute. Dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and about!
The dawn is about to break, dress yourselves in Christ!
Isaiah 52:1 Awake awake! Put on thy strength, O Zion! Put on thy beautiful garments O Jerusalem, the Holy City!
This is a picture of intentional living, Put on thy strength, Put on thy beautiful garments! Now is the time as the body of Christ to live on purpose, and to purposefully live in Christ!
David said in Psalm 63:1 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee
Isaiah 50:4 “The Lord GOD has given Me The tongue of the learned, That I should know how to speak A word in season to him who is weary. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear To hear as the learned.
#2. LOCK IN!
A couple weeks back I heard the Spirit say “LOCK IN DAUGHTER,” IT’S TIME TO LOCK IN NOT OUT! USE YOUR KEY TO LOCK IN!”
The church has been facing many obstacles, distractions, and warfare to keep us from being all that God has called us to be and do in this new era. But the Holy Spirit is whispering, “Lock In!” Lock into Me, Lock in to the ministry gift and call on your life, Lock in to commitment, Lock in to your family, Lock in to the things that God has called you to be and do.
The Holy Spirit and intimacy with Him in this hour is your key to unlock true victory in every aspect of your life. God is calling for commitment in His son’s and daughters in this hour. Every decision that we make and choices that are laid out before us, the Spirit is saying lock in!
He didn’t say it would be easy, actually He said we would have adversity, but John 14:26 says that the Father would send us The Helper, Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor, Counsellor, Strengthener, and Standby the Holy Spirit!
No matter what your vocation is, No matter what your battle or relational struggle, as you become a yielded vessel to the glory of God, the ripple effect begins to trickle down into every area and aspect of your human experience.
Old patterns and cycles are being broken now! This is the moment when you say enough is enough, this is a new day dawning upon me and my family!
It all begins with US! IT BEGINS WITH ME!
Example:
God is making us whole people! And it’s His Holy Spirit that makes us whole! Your spouse can’t make me complete, Your children can’t make you complete, Your parents can’t make you complete, Your job can’t make you complete, or coworkers, Your friends can’t make you complete, Your stuff can’t make you complete!
When we are in daily communion with the Lord, every area and aspect of our lives will flow from the unction that His presence in our lives gives.
LOCK IN!!!
#3. TAKE DOMINION
On May 7th I was driving onto our property of the church for prayer, and suddenly I heard the Spirit say, TAKE DOMINION!
The word Dominion is defined as control or power over, or the authority to rule. When a king has power over a certain territory, this is an example of a situation where a king has dominion over that territory. The Spirit is saying Take Dominion! Take your rightful place of authority and rule in the Spirit!
Psalms 8:6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet:
Rev 1:6 ...and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 5:10 You have made them into a kingdom, priests to serve our God, and they will reign upon the earth."
ITS LIME TO GET TO WORK!
John 5:17 ...to this very day my Father is at His work and I too am working!
John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Let us be about our Fathers Business and TAKE DOMINION as He has ordained and ordered from the beginning of time! Friends, let us Arise Like the Dawn, Lock In, & Take Dominion!
